1. Configure Produmex Scan

When starting Produmex Scan for the first time on your device, the Configuration screen opens up. To change the configuration after the first use, run the Configure Produmex Scan application.

On the General tab determine the connection settings and the language of the application.

• Add the Server URL of the server where the client application will connect. The server URL consist the IP address of the server where the Service Broker runs and the port number. The port number is 50231 by default. Tap the … button to scan for servers.
• After the Server URL has been added, the active databases assigned to the Service Broker are listed on the box. Select the company database from the list. If the application cannot connect to the server, an error message is shown.
• Select the language of the client application from the Language dropdown menu.
• Tap the ID button to see the device ID.

Go to the Advanced tab and set up the configurations.

Don't Use Built-in OS Buttons
If you want to use the built-in operating system default control buttons, check the Don't Use Built-in OS Buttons checkbox. It is recommended to disable the built-in buttons on Windows CE, in desktop mode or when using remote desktop connection.

Customization Assist Mode
For customization purposes the Customization Assist Mode can be enabled by ticking the checkbox. For more information about customization see Produmex Scan Customization Guide.

Win. Layout
Select a Windows layout from the dropdown menu. Possible values:

• Normal: recommended in desktop mode
• Maximized Borderless: recommended in Windows CE
• Desktop Fullscreen: recommended when using remote desktop connection

Timeout (sec)
An initial timeout setting for the Client application. The Client application requests its configuration (including the Kill Time value) from the application server and for this first-time communication the Client application uses the Timeout setting.

• If the application server does not respond within the time limit defined by the Timeout setting, the Client application aborts the connection.
• If this first communication is successful, that is, the application server responds to the Client application within the time limit, the Kill Time setting is applied to define the timeout for future communication among the Client application, the application server and the database.
• The default value of the Timeout setting is 15 seconds. If your application or database server is slow, it is recommended to change the value to a higher number.

Note: The Tester Mode is for internal testing purposes only. Make sure that you do not enable it.

On the Diagnostics tab network and process performance diagnostic tests can be ran.

Click the OK button to apply the configurations.

On the Sounds tab you can define if you want Produmex Scan to play a sound whenever a barcode has been scanned successfully or a problem has occured while scanning.

If you enable the Play Sound setting, you can also set the success and the fail sound in the drop-down menus. In case of the success sound, the no sound option is also available.

If the setting is enabled and Produmex Scan displays a message, it displays the following sound:

• error: fail sound
• warning: fail sound
• info: success sound

Note: If the setting is enabled, Produmex Scan also plays a success sound when you leave a field where a barcode has been scanned successfully, for example when you tap the Add or the Update button.

The path of the sounds files Produmex Scan displays in the drop-down menus can be defined with the Audio directory for scanning (Service Broker directory) setting, see documentation here.
